I love Jaedong, btw.

I didn't read or post much in the Power Rank threads back then (I never knew how many awesome discussions there was in them), and this might've been a little to early for me. I've been a huge Flash fan since I started watching progaming, and he's always been my favourite player, but my extreme fanboyism (feeling the urge to argue with everyone who criticizes him) wasn't fully developed. Believe me, if that debate had been now, I would've been there defending Flash with all my ability. I haven't had too many opportunities to show my Flash fanboyism, but I did for instance contribute to that discussion with fanatacist the other day, and against those morons who called Flash boring in some LR thread. And a little in this thread.
I must say, though, that you seem to be a prime example of a good fanboy. In all discussions I've had about Flash, you've been there as well. And you are also not the annoying blind type of fanboy; you acknowledge when Flash does something bad and deserves criticism. I applaud you for that. The short amount of time that I've had this obsession about him speaks in your favour, but in time I will most definitely overtake you. I WILL be the premier Flash fanboy on TL.
And the Samsung icon doesn't mean anything; I choose it when I was new here because it was pretty much the only team with more than one player that I really liked, and my Flash fanboyism had not blossomed to where it is today by then. I have considered changing it to KT (solely due to Flash, don't care for the team but I hope they do well so Flash can win PL), but I'm a very lazy person.

It's why most true hardcore Jaedong fans have an Oz tag, man!
To be fair, though, I've been pro-KT/F since I knew about KT/F. If Nal_Ra still played he'd probably still be my favorite. :>

Holgerius, how can you ever have liked Leta more than Flash, though?

It's weird how these things work. I dislike Bisu and Fantasy (and maybe Calm this season, we'll see) for the same reason: they're threats to Flash and Jaedong, who are my favorite S-class players. I fully acknowledge that Bisu and Fantasy are extremely skilled, that's WHY they get my hate, because I'm always afraid they're going to beat a player I like. So in a way, it's a bit of a compliment to have people vehemently slam your favorite player, it means they're afraid of him.
Between Flash and Jaedong, I liked Jaedong more back when Zerg was doing terrible, because he showed me games I barely ever got to see (dominating other races with great Zerg play). Now that Zergs in general are doing so well, I've gotten pretty tired of seeing it, and suddenly Flash's amazing bionic TvZ is a breath of fresh air from all the mech TvZ these days, and I like watching him play more than Jaedong.
For whatever reason, even though Protoss is doing poorly, that same sympathy for the underdog race doesn't extend to them. I still dislike Bisu, and most Protoss players in general. I like Stork though, because he kicks Fantasy's ass but it doesn't feel like he's a threat to Flash or JD, haha.
Fanboyism is a strange thing.

Evidence or not, I'm the senior Flash fan among the two of us, and that automatically makes me right.

Evidence or not, I'm the senior Flash fan among the two of us, and that automatically makes me right. I might have said that Leta was ''better'' at some point, or at least had potential to become ''better''. Leta raped faces for a while, and knocked Flash out of MSL. If he would've kept that up and won a Starleague, he would've been a serious candidate for the position as the best Terran. That's what I might have said. But never that I liked him more, as you said in your first post.
And this isn't fucking Korea, where seniority means something. If you're gonna make claims, back it up with some evidence, ''hyung''!
Anyways, happy birthday!

I agree wholeheartedly with the entire post, except ''I liked Jaedong more''. Flash has always been my favourite amongst the S-classers; I would've rooted for him against JD at any point in time. Part from that, I could've written the exact same post.

I think its time Movie earns a top10 spot, OSL Ro16, MSL Ro36. Apart from Jaedong and Calm who has that?
EDIT: and Stork
|
For Movie to be on the PR, he'd need to have scored more than 2 points in Fantasy. Grrrrrr!

As of now Stork, Movie, Calm, Flash, Kwanro, Jaedong, and Type-B are definitely in the top 10. Although that might change in end of this month. And I wouldn't hesitate to put Luxury in the top 10 depending if he gets past either the MSL Ro36 or OSL Ro16.

Can I join the group of Flash fanboys I got really into starcraft after I observed an insane run of Flash for his OSL gold. Before that, I wasn't really following it closely. Since then I am a die-hard fan
On the topic, I hope Flash will get a chance to play some high calibre players soon so he can prove to all those haters that he is amazing.

One time I cried when Flash lost.

I really can't tell if you're serious.

Wow, it's kind of refreshing to have two full pages w/o an skt icon in this thread.

Of course I'm serious, but than again I'm no expert on this thing.

I'm a huge Jaedong fan but I also love Flash. Flash will always be #2 in my book. I just can't like Bisu for some reason though. I mean, don't get me wrong though. I do admire and respect his play. He's very good but I just can't stand his personality and looks.
